• 1. The process of developing a learned response

• 1. A previously neutral stimulus that, through learning, gains the power to cause a response 

1. Classical conditioning

• 1. An automatic response to the unconditioned stimulus

• 1. A type of learning in which a stimulus gains the power to cause a response

• In social relations, taking action against a group of people because of stereotyped beliefs and feelings of prejudice
